Coleus Forskolii The Nutrient that Supports Healthy Metabolism Composition and Lean Body Mass

AFI Coleus Forskohlii aka Forskolin


Coleus Forskolii Supports a Healthy Body Composition and Lean Body Mass

Coleus Forskohlii is the only known natural source of the unique adenylate cyclase activating phytonutrient, Forskolin. Adenylate cyclase is the enzyme involved in the production of Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cAMP), a very important energy molecule, known as the “second messenger” which has a positive effect on many biochemical processes in the body. When cAMP is raised inside the cells many physiological and biochemical changes occur, including; inhibition of platelet activation and degranulation, inhibition of mast cell degranulation and histamine release, increased force of heart muscle contraction, relaxation of arteries and smooth muscle, increased insulin secretion, increased thyroid function, and increased lipolysis (burning fat for fuel). Forskolin has also been shown to lower blood pressure through its ability to relax arteries and veins. Studies validate the use of forskolin in maintaining cardiac, circulatory and respiratory health. Forskolin also effectively increases lean muscle mass, while burning fat. 

Suggested Use:

Take one capsule daily with water or as directed by a health professional.
